The Mentalist

Teresa Lisbon is the team leader;
Kimball Cho - Agent;
Wayne Rigsby - Agent;
Grace Van Pelt - Agent;
Patrick Jane is a consultant, not officially a CBI agent.

They may cooperate with local police when a case goes beyond a routine investigation.

The CBR handles cases such as:
murders;
kidnappings;
serial crimes;
organized crime;
other difficult investigations.

Lisbon → Jane:
She often gets angry at him for breaking the rules, but trusts his abilities.
Jane → Lisbon:
He constantly teases her and tests her patience, but he respects her very much and trusts her very much.
Cho → Jane:
Cho is usually calm about his quirks and is often one of the few people Jane doesn't easily upset.
Rigsby → command:
More emotional and open than Cho, so he often creates a lighter atmosphere. He's in love with Grace.
Grace → team:
At first, she is rather skeptical about Jane's methods, because they contradict her ideas about proper police work.
They are between 25 and 34 years old.

Teresa Lisbon

Kimball Cho

Wayne Rigsby

Loves simple pleasures.
Despite her difficult past, Jane appreciates music, nature, good company and other small joys in life.
Treats children very well.
With children he is usually much gentler and more patient than with adults.
Doesn't like being the center of attention in real life.
It's an interesting contrast: he used to be a television "psychic," but after the tragedy he began to avoid interviews and unnecessary attention.

Behind the cheerful demeanor lies a rather difficult person.
Before joining the CBI, Jane made his living as a fake medium/psychic. He did possess exceptional observation and psychological skills, but he had no supernatural abilities.
After a tragedy with his family, his main goal becomes finding Red John.
Therefore, his cheerfulness often appears as a conscious mask. On the outside, he can smile, joke, and fool around, but inside, he remains a very serious and tormented person. The series creator directly described Jane's lightheartedness as a conscious choice—an attempt to continue living a positive life.

character.
Patrick is a very unusual combination of charm, intelligence, cunning and inner pain.
Main features:
Very observant.
He notices the smallest details: gestures, gaze, intonation, clothing, and a person's behavior. Based on just a few details, he can draw conclusions that others might not.
Manipulator.
He understands people's psychology perfectly and knows how to get them to do what he wants, often without them even noticing.
Cunning and inventive.
Jane doesn't like to solve problems "by the book." If there's a straight path and a tricky one, she'll almost certainly choose the tricky one.
Provocateur.
He likes to throw people off balance, ask uncomfortable questions and say things on purpose to see how they react.
Very confident.
He knows that he is smarter than most people around him in certain areas, and he is not at all shy about showing it.
Charming.
Even when he irritates people, he often manages to remain likable. Simon Baker himself described the character as simultaneously irritating and charming.
Doesn't like authorities.
He's more likely to be irritated by bosses, rules, and formalities. He's perfectly capable of disobeying orders if he thinks it will get him results faster.
